About

I’m a backend engineer with experience scaling systems across hypergrowth, real-time, and data-intensive environments. Over the years, I’ve moved from building foundational tools like custom distributed caches and Spark pipelines to leading cross-team initiatives that enhance platform resilience, developer productivity, and customer impact. I specialize in system design, backend architecture, and infrastructure modernization. My work has spanned real-time data ingestion, Redis-backed caching layers, campaign analytics, event tracking, and supply chain systems at scale. I’ve delivered critical business capabilities during high-pressure sales events, stabilized complex delivery models, and contributed to platform initiatives adopted across multiple teams.

  • As part of the core data team in my first role, I contributed to building distributed systems, real-time pipelines, and large-scale data infrastructure from the ground up. Key projects included:
  • || Distributed Cache System
  • Developed a Python-based consistent hashing library (Ketama ring strategy) for distributing user data across multiple Redis servers, improving scalability and fault tolerance.
  • || DMP User Data Ingestion Pipeline
  • Built a standalone ingestion tool to process and ingest raw user data from multiple Data Management Platforms into Redis:
  • Java processor to handle large file batches
  • AWS Lambda + SQS integration for real-time file handling
  • Custom bit-level compression algorithm to optimize storage of integer-heavy data
  • || Apache Spark Applications
  • Designed and deployed several Spark-based data processing systems:
  • Data ingestion framework for pulling data from S3, Redis, and SQL based on user application type
  • Graph-based User Journey tracking system
  • Campaign Impression Analysis tool
  • Redis cluster rebalancing utility
  • Custom Auto Scaling mechanism for Spark workers based on workload characteristics
  • || Real-Time Conversion Tracking
  • Engineered a low-latency tracking system to determine ad conversion impact — tracking user behavior post-impression to assess campaign effectiveness.
  • || CloudWatch Logs Monitor
  • Wrote an AWS Lambda function to monitor access logs from EC2 instances, raising alarms when error thresholds were breached — improving system reliability.
  • || Data Warehousing with Redshift
  • Set up and optimized Amazon Redshift clusters for analytics use cases involving large datasets and complex aggregations.
  • || Recognition
  • Awarded Most Valued Player of the data team for outstanding contributions during 2015–2016.
